Everyone is producing TV shows now. There are 'Amazon Mini Shorts' on my Amazon app, Swiggy and Zomato - two food delivery apps - also have their own shows. It's an explosion of content and I can't fathom who in the world is watching all of it. Or any of it.

I'm not sure why your first example of Amazon producing TV shows is Amazon mini shorts. They've been making Amazon originals for years, including an upcoming TV series on this little franchise called Lord of the Rings which was the most expensive TV series ever made with a $1 billion budget.

  I know. But these mini shorts are placed right inside Amazon's app and you're encouraged to view them while you're shopping. Which makes absolutely no sense. Prime Videos is its own standalone product. But these mini shorts are weirdly spliced in with Amazon's primary product.

There was that 7 minute video start up that raised a ton of money and had a bunch of big names produce short videos. IIRC the answer to your question was "hardly anyone" and they shut down quickly after burning a bunch of money.
